    Installed forms and it’s up and running with one problem.

    When I do a test post, it automatically is posted to the database. This is after I receive the obligatory email saying I have a new posting and it is in the queue to be reviewed.

    I noticed in the support forum someone seemed to have solved this by deactivating then reactivating. I deactivated both Connections AND the plug in and it’s still doing this.

    Can you advise?

    Also, a question. Can I put a ‘Submit Entry’ link somewhere besides the gallery page? I want a short term page where a number of people can submit entries without seeing items already in the database. (Primarily because I’m still formulating the end product)

    Thanks!

    Think I answered the first question. It appears they post automatically when tested, but when I took the program live and posted from another browser, it did what it was supposed to do.

    Still need to know about the separated entry page though.

    And now I’m getting an ‘invalid certificate’ notice when I try to log in, either as admin or as a user.
    How do I fix this?
    None of my other sites are doing this.

    Yes, when you submit entries while logged in as the admin, you are submitting the entry as the admin with all the same permissions and capabilities. So, test while logged out.

    Sorry, no, this is not supported.

    RE: I’m getting an ‘invalid certificate’ notice when I try to log in, either as admin or as a user. How do I fix this?

    Sorry, but you will have to contact your web host support. This issue is unrelated to Connections. The likely source of the issue is the the installation and configuration of the security cert on your site/domain.

    Hope this helps!
